While there's nothing wrong with the logo, It's hard to believe this many teams got a patent.Anyways, I decided to create logos for those 3 teams revolving around the letter S and their team name.

Stanford's S sometimes has a nice little tree on it. So I decided to create a logo where they're together. I wanted to make a diamond shape, but realize that hey duplicating the top bit looks a lot like a tree. I connected the branches and added a trunk.

I started this concept MONTHS ago. The only progress I had was an MS alternating because I had another letter to play with. I played around with some stuff, and added a nose plate in the negative space of the S. This evolved into a Spartan helmet. The more I played with it, the more it evolved. It became an M-S-U logo,

This one is an orange

Personally the only one I think that works is the Stanford one. But on that one you really knocked it out of the park. What really bothers me about the Syracuse one is it looks so much like a tilted poke ball lol

I thought of that, and there really wasn't anything I could do committing to the circle and shape that didn't. I had SO for Syracuse Orange, and SU for Syracuse University. I didn't explain it all just for the joke

NC State doesn't have the block S as well? I know they modify it with the NC - but would love to see what you can do with them as well. Never thought they've used the Wolfpack moniker appropriately in their logos/branding.

I really like where these are headed, but there's a few things you may want to try. Personally, the biggest thing that isn't working for me on the Michigan State logo is how wide the M is. I think that if you made the M narrower and more in line with the top part of the S from your original logo, then it might look better. The Stanford one is fantastic, and its super clean and would look great on their jerseys, but with Syracuse, it looks more like a company log than an athletics logo. I love the creativity behind these designs, and they're all right on the edge of working really well, but I think a few more changes are necessary to make the MSU and Syracuse ones work. Overall, a really great start.

As a Sparty fan, I'm not digging that logo too much. The order of the letters is important. It looks like it belongs (order wise anyway) to Southern Methodist University rather than MSU. I appreciate the effort and do agree that the block S is overused (MSU's primary is the helmet now I believe), but I'd love to see the the letters in the correct order.

The Stanford one is great (I didn't want to sound like a complete curmudgeon).
